Verse 1:
(D) SOL SIm MIm /RE
I sat me down to write a simple story
DO SOL/SI LAm7 /SOL
Which maybe in the end became a song
RE/FA# REm/FA DO/MI MIbdim
In trying to find the words which might begin it
MIm LAm DO RE
I found these were the thoughts I'd brought along
Verse 2:
At first I sought to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to ride me round
But then I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my struggles further brought me down
Verse 3:
In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set my foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home
Bridge:
RE RE7/DO SOL/SI DO SOL/SI DO SOL/SI
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
RE RE7/DO SOL/SI DO SOL/SI DO SOL/SI
And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
RE RE7/DO SOL/SI DO SOL/SI DO SOL/SI
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
DO SOL/SI LAm7 LAm7/SOL
Still no hidden truths could I unfold
Instrumental break:
organ solo (chord progression as per last two lines of verse)
Verse 4:
I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been read by one before me
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
B7/D# Em Am7 Am7/D G [N.C.]
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
Coda:
piano (chords and rests as indicated):
RE RE/DO SOL/SI LAm
/ } / } / } / } / } / } / } / }
band enters; continue to fade:
RE RE/DO SOL/SI LAm/DO
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
